  • Baltimore Clayworks is pleased to announce a call for entries for Shino Odyssey. Shino is a juried exhibition celebrating the depth and diversity of Shino glazes. This exhibition invites artists to explore and showcase the vast possibilities of Shino, a glaze family known for its remarkable sensitivity to clay body, application, kiln atmosphere, and firing duration. All interpretations of Shino glaze are encouraged. Selected artwork will be exhibited in our gallery and available for purchase.

All exhibited work must be for sale and available for the duration of the exhibition. Original accepted work only and no substitution. Baltimore Clayworks (and Juror) reserves the right to disqualify applications or deny to exhibit. **PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTION CAREFULLY AND FOLLOW THE REQUIREMENTS ON IMAGES & IMAGE LIST.** (No international applications for this exhibition.)

  • Shipping

    Artist is responsible for shipment/delivery of the accepted work. Work must arrive at Baltimore Clayworks Gallery by Friday, August 28, 2026, or at least two weeks prior to opening of the exhibition. We pay for return shipping if the piece does not sell. Return shipping should start at least two weeks after the closing of the exhibition, if not earlier. (No international applications for this exhibition, due to the complexity of the current international shipping/trade situation and its cost.)
  • Digital Image Requirements

    (**IMPORTANT to follow this guideline in order to keep the integrity of blind jurying process and to save work hours of staff due to overwhelming number of submissions for this particular exhibition.**) Submit up to three(3) pieces and up to two(2) images of each piece. (Other images are NOT considered, or your application will be disqualified.) Images should be in square format; 2000x2000 pixels of 300 dpi as JPEG/JPG. Gray or white background. No text or other distracting objects/background on images. Each file name must be labeled with the artist's THREE INITIALS in the order: LAST, FIRST, MIDDLE (use "X" if no middle initial) and the corresponding number from your entry. (ex. Arther Clay Potter would be "PAC1.jpg" and only upto "3".) If you submit alternative/reverse-side (or close/detail) shot of the same work, you should label the second image of the piece with "a" (for "a"lternative. Ex., "PAC1a.jpg". Only ONE alternative image per piece is permitted. Adding the alternative image does NOT necessarily increase the chance of acceptance or often is not needed. Do NOT use "4", "5", "6", or "b".) Baltimore Clayworks reserves the right to photograph work and uses the submitted images of accepted pieces for the purpose of publicity, promotion, education and documentation in printed materials, website and social media.
